8 players who snubbed Liverpool for Manchester United

8.Mikael Silvestre

Former French icon Mikael Silvestre turned down a lucrative offer from then Liverpool manager Gerard Houiller and joined Manchester United in 1999.

Coming off the back of a successful season at Inter Milan, the defender followed it up with 5 more glittering years on the British shores, having shone for The Red Devils and helping them with 5 Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy in 2008.

For all his brilliance, Silvestre may have made a name for himself at the Merseyside had he joined them instead, but wouldn’t enjoyed the kind of trophy-laden years he did at Manchester.

Three Players Liverpool can sign with Coutinho Money

3. Jack Butland

Liverpool have been criticized for their poor goalkeeping performance with Simon Mignolet struggling in the squad. Klopp may be tempted to buy Jack Butland. He is one of the positives for the struggling Stoke City. Jack Butland may consider a switch to Liverpool in hopes of performing well in the Premier League and securing his place as No. 1 goalkeeper for England for the 2018 World Cup.
